		<description><![CDATA[After preschool drop-off is supposed to be naptime for toddlers, but we&#8217;ve got neighbors coming for dinner and we desperately need at least a single grape or stick of broccoli or something to show that we do, in fact, eat vitamins here. But sleepy Claudia generates her own gravity, and that&#8217;s hard to fight &#8212; [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[We don’t do a lot of juice around here, but Fern’s friend was getting some at our playdate today so I let her have some, too. Of course, I used that “kid juice” you can get, which is marketed as “Low! Sugar!” but essentially amounts to a tiny bit of apple juice cut into water. [...]]]></description>

Fern was talking to a friend in the car, gloriously oblivious to my presence as only four-year olds can be oblivious. Like when kids hide their face in a couch cushion [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Sometimes the approving looks of strangers as they gaze upon my cute-as-custard daughter dissolve into a vaguely uneasy grimace, followed by a speedy retreat. Actually, that happens kind of a lot. We went to an art museum this weekend, first time in a year. (In early days we used to be followed around by security [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Let me just start by admitting: I try to impress 4-year olds. A couple of weeks ago we hosted one of those kids who makes preschool look like graduate school. She’s well-behaved and articulate &#8212; a great little role model for my, um, independent three-year old. So of course I decided that on our first [...]]]></description>

We’re on vacation; it’s our first day in the cabin, which is remote enough from retail establishments that what we have is pretty much what we’ll get. And Fern is putting every [...]]]></description>

Consider this monologue, reported here as close to verbatim as possible: &#8220;Do you want to hear the song I just wrote about a horse named [...]]]></description>

But that’s the issue my piece is in. Hey, y’all! It’s the first day of June, which as I’m sure you realize means that my latest trimonthly missive [...]]]></description>
